Upon its introduction in 1979, the Fox-Body Mustang breathed fresh life into Ford’s enduring pony car. After years meandering with the Pinto based Mustang II, the Fox was unleashed from the get-go with a range topping V8 motor, unlike its predecessor. While early iterations continued the trend of speed alluding sticker packages, the Mustang now had the performance to back it up. Advancing into the high-tech 1980s, the range of fastback, notchback, and convertible body styles were supplemented by the introduction of the turbocharged 2.3 liter Lima engine. Reaching its ultimate potency in the much sought after SVO Mustang of 1984, this model superseded even the 5.0 powered GT within the Mustang Range.

With production due to carry on into the final decade of the 20th century, Ford remained diligent in keeping the aging platform up to date and competitive with its Detroit based competition. In 1987, the Fox received a facelift which served to both align the vehicle with the rest of Ford’s corporate identity and clean up the aerodynamic surfaces. The powertrain would continue to receive updates in this time and by the final model year the GT trim delivered a respectable 205hp. Available in just about any flavor an enthusiast could want, it should come as no surprise that the popularity of the Fox platform Mustang continues to grow over time.

This particular Fox has been converted into a potent racer. The car is said to have been built by Roush Racing and acquired from Saleen. Little is known about the specifics of the vehicle, but it looks to have been built with top spec components throughout. With a safety check and some light recommissioning, this beast will be sure to bring endless fun at your local track.

This race car competed in the 1987-1988 SCCA Escort Endurance Championship, enabling the General Tire sponsored Saleen team, consisting of Steve Saleen and Rick Titus, to win the coveted Driver’s Championship, as well as the Manufacturer’s Championship for Saleen and Ford Motor Company. This vehicle marks a significant improvement in the development of the Saleen Mustang. Power increases to 225HP, and 5 lug, 4 wheel disc brakes became standard equipment. In 1988 the team went on to an impressive 1-2-3 finish at the 24 Hours of Mosportin Ontario, Canada.

Up for sale is my 1987 Ford Mustang Saleen hatchback. No clone here, this is the real deal. It is car #45 of 278 Saleen Mustangs made in 1987. It has 33,000 original miles and has never been modified, wrecked or abused in any way, shape or form. I have had several Saleen’s over the years and it is the nicest one I have seen in a very long time. I searched long and hard to find this car and the only reason I am selling it is because I recently purchased a 1993 Cobra R and needed the parking space but still could not part with the Saleen and then 2 weeks ago I bought a 2000 Cobra R also so now the Saleen needs to find a new home.

It is 1 of 2 Black Saleens built in 1987 with a factory sunroof which is a pretty rare option by itself. It is a 2 owner car from new and I have all the original Ford and Saleen paperwork including the Window sticker, books, records, manuals, Saleen sales brochures and more. The car was sold through Performance Autosport in 2002 with 5,000 miles on it to the second owner. I have several maintenance receipts from over the years and the majority of them were air conditioning repairs and yes it currently works and blows cold!!! The car even still has the original Escort radar detector that came as original equipment on all 1987 Saleen’s.

The paint and body are in excellent shape especially considering 1987 Ford black paint was terrible at best and it shines bright and shows great from every angle. The only blem worth mentioning on the whole car is the rear spoiler has some hairline cracks in various places which is very common. It could easy be fixed and made perfect but cars are only original once. The interior is like new and everything on the car works. Mechanically it is a please to drive and really is a flashback car. Everything is still tight and feels solid like only a low mileage car can. I have had lots of fox bodies since I was a kid and no matter how much time and money I spent on them you can never put them back together the same as when they left the factory.

If you have any questions please do not email me, call me instead. It may take me several days to respond to an email but I am always available by phone. Please call Randy at 480-206-1701

This is a very fine survivor Saleen. Two owners up until March 2015, the second owner lovingly cared for her since 2002 and 5k miles. Clean Carfax documenting the mileage and history available upon request.

This car has not been in the public eye for many years and is ready for your car shows and Saleen/Mustang meets.

This car is 100% stock down to the 1987 stamped plug wires, stock mufflers, Stock 3.08 gear, and air filter (recently replaced with a new Motorcraft). Original paint and body panels are in excellent condition. All panel VIN stickers are visible and verifiable. The undercarriage is very clean and presents as a 33k mile car should. The car is a great driver, starts right up and runs very well with no known issues. A/C was serviced a few years ago as were the shocks (service records). A wonderful Fox Saleen, in the right color, the right options and in amazing condition. Ready for a new owner/curator/steward to take custody of this important piece of Ford Mustang Saleen history.

I am the first owner of 1987 Saleen Mustang #192, a white convertible with blue stripes and white Ford leather interior. 87-0192 was delivered and purchased through Jim Click Ford in Tucson, Arizona. I owned #192 for 5 years, from new… until I sold her in 1991 with about 10k miles on the odometer. This sale was forced due to bad financial times with my parents. I would be interested in buying #192 or at least know that she’s in good hands for the moment. Message me with any leads on the whereabouts or ownership history.
